African Proverb #10

An intelliget enemy is better than a stupid friend.

I think if you have and intelligent enemy they would keep you on point. If you have a stupid friend they might just be there to take up space or something. If you have a smart enemy and they know that your friend is stupid they could be able to turn your friend against you. A smart enemy is a person who can use anything against you thats why you must sytay on point. If you have a stupid friend they're just a person there to try and be down or something. I think your intelligent enemies can become faster friends than a stupid one. A stupid friend can become an enemy over anything because they..........are just stupid.

I can't relate myself to this proverb because I think all my friends are smart. My friends are the type who stay loyal and true. If you have a friend that's not those two things then they are probably not your true friends. I do have enemies but most of them are stupid because if you claim someone your enemy because they wear nice clothes or get money then that's stupid because you can do the same thing. I don't worry about any of my friends being stupid because I keep my friends close and my enemies closer. I don't like to say I have enemies because life is to short to worry about one person when there is like a trillion people on this planet. I just look at them and keep moving. It's the same thing for friends, there are way more people out there who I could replace a friend with. Some of the people I replace of friend with might even be better.
